Why so many problems with martin logan?

I have owned 8 pairs had problems with allmost all of them .3 pairs where deliverd in damaged or missing parts ,or wrinkled pannels.Or cosmetic damage.I like the sound but have found a better way so Iam glad I have moved on .Since I havent owned M/L the other speakers I have purchased worked right out of the box with out many calls to my dealer and martin logan .Iam talking about there new models .Just wondering if others have had these problems ?Thxs for your imput.JK

Yes Iam crazy and have owned this many logans .I have nothing to prove if you dont believe me .Thats your problem .The damage martin logans where not damaged by shipping .Dont see how the parts could just fall off the speaker and out the box.lol .And wrinkled pannels are a design problem martin logan admited it was having ,problems with the lexan spars.The best speaker I purchased from them was my CLS2Z only took 3 months after I ordered for them to arrive.And the descent sub had no issues.I knew I would upset some with this post but this is my experance with martin logan .Yours maybe diferant

All my martin logans where purchased new from a dealer .The problems where not shipping related .I dont mean to offend happy logan owners just letting others know my experances with there products .1 time after many complants about my Prodigy,wrinkled pannels ,cosmetic dammage ,screws missing bolt holding the binding posts was missing .They took care of me after a month and 1/2, also sent me a shirt and 3m dust cloth .So nice of them .JK

I purchased the logans over a 14 year period I like the sound of pannels so I put up with the problems .Who cares what others believe .I do not lie .If you read my post you would see that 5 pairs of the 8 I bought gave me some problems also the last couple pairs gave me the most grief thus I no longer will buy M/L products. This is my experance with M/L .I could care less if others dont believe me .Happy listening
